About me
I am a keen and hard working individual who has gained many years of experience working in the luxury retail sector in the creative industry. I have managed to base myself in only a small amount of companies, where I have been lucky enough to learn new skills and ideas from a variety of other experienced and insightful professionals, helping me to constantly learn and develop my approach.
I have a huge enthusiasm for creating beautiful and exciting ideas through styling and schemes on the shop floor and through windows, where my main aim is to get clients' attention. I love keeping up with new trends, and the constant evolving fashion world, where I am able to add my own taste to keep my work unique and exciting.
